Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING WP:ARBITRARYCAT WP:ASSOCIATEDWITH. I could be a great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of some monarch somewhere, but not have a title. The lack of a title doesn't make me someone special. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sailing regattas and yacht races

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Merge (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 14:44, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Use of the terms yacht and regatta (redirected to boat racing, see below) are varying and therefore hard to categorise. The two categories get all kinds of sailing competitions that would fit into their parent category.
The proposal is to upmerge the two categories to Category:Sailing competitions. Category:Sailing competitions could be split in Category:Offshore sailing competitions and Category:One-design fleet racing competitions (inspired by Offshore & Oceanic Sailing and Fleet Racing, among six other Types of Sailing, presented on World Sailing (governing body) website here.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Sailboat type designs by designer. Nominator's rationale had a hole in it, but the other justifications based on established conventions and similarity was sufficient. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:56, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer, several offices are named NN Yacht Design or NN & XX. Categories are parent and child to each other. Other Category:Works by designer categories has both people and offices. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 16:05, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • One is a person and the other is a company they are not the same thing and these should not be merged. Yachty4000
  • Merge I think it's OK if "designer" could either mean a person or a firm. In practice, it might be hard to distinguish anyway since any current designer would have a corporate entity set up and most of the firms are founded/lead by a single person. (If kept, "design firm" would be clearer than "design office".) - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:04, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:13th-century Grand Princes of Moscow

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Delete (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 14:44, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 item because there was only 1 historically undisputed prince of Moscow in the 13th century, and that was Daniel of Moscow (reigned c. 1280s to 1303, is also in the next cat Category:14th-century Grand Princes of Moscow which is not a SMALLCAT). I removed Boris Mikhailovich and Mikhail Khorobrit, because it is heavily disputed (as their bios say) whether they had ever been "prince of Moscow" before Daniel. Per WP:NPOV and WP:ARBITRARYCAT, we cannot categorise people who may or may not have been Foo of Bar. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:57, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. Both articles are already in Category:Winter weather events in Ireland so no additional merging is necessary. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:31, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:56, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT. The merge to Natural disasters in country should be manual as some of the articles are already deeper in that tree (i.e floods, earthquakes). Some intercontinental countries (i.e. Russia, Egypt) are only merged to the continent in which the article(s) occurred. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:11, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women's 470 World Championships

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Delete (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 14:44, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The 470 World Championships men and women events have, since a women’s event was added in 1985 until both being replaced by a mixed event in 2022, been held together. Other articles, if existing, e.g. the 2017 470 World Championships, deals with the two events together, with the two articles of this category coming from the times the championship has been included in a bigger event, the Sailing World Championships. This has happened another three times (currently without articles).
If kept, I believe the category should be renamed Category:Women's events at the 470 World Championships following Category:Women's events at the Summer Olympics.
Note: the category had one article until yesterday which I, when overlooking the Category:Sailing competitions-tree, then moved to Category:470 World Championships, and later was readded together with one other article. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 09:58, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. There are only two women's events at this competition and they are already categorized in the parent, so delete. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:39, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I saw this category in the Empty Categories category and thought that it was a suitable category for two articles which I put in this category. This was all before this CFD nomination was filed. Liz Read! Talk! 23:22, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT. Note that some countries do not need to merge to natural disasters since they are already in state/province level categories. –Aidan721 (talk) 01:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
